Random "quickie" Questions

[Bronson]

I stole this idea from my boy Selfproclaimed, basically if you have a question in regards to KA that you want a quick answer to and don't want to start a new thread post it here and some of the senior members (in knowledge, not necessarily post count) will be able to help.

This is especially good for you filthy lurkers so you can set up an account to ask questions and also for those with low post counts who can't start new threads yet.

So off you go guys ask away!!

[Valid or]

Ah, you answered my question befor I even asked.
I need to reply to posts more than I am to get my posts up befor I can start a new thread myself.
Thank you, been wounding about that since I joined the forum, thought that was the case but wasn't 100% sure.

[Bronson]

Glad I could inadvertently help.

[Al_raine]

Good job sir. This move is as classy as your avatar.

Until recently I was under the limit and a thread like this was a god send.

[Coog]

I would like to know why I sometimes get the sms notification "The realm of Kingdom Age needs your help". What does it mean? When I log on I don't see anything that needs my attention.

[whiterider]

I have never had this. Maybe it is the same stupid reminder facebook and twitter are using "a lot had happened" when you dont log in frequently.

Many times I got a message that I have lost gold due to attack but it is the opposite, I have been donated gold by rivals.it seems it is a bug

[Bronson]

Yeah I get these reminders, not a bad idea if they got them right. I haven't had the one Coog has mentioned but I do get the "your energy and stamina is now full" No $hit Sherlock I have been camping for 3 weeks!!

[SoccerStud]

Is there a gang in Kingdom Age like the Indians or the pirates?

[Bronson]

Is there a gang in Kingdom Age like the Indians or the pirates?

The only groups I know of are the Forum Knights and the Royal Knights. Some higher level folk might be able to help you out with this tho.

[MaverickMunkey]

Is there a gang in Kingdom Age like the Indians or the pirates?

There are a few that I know about.

The Royal Knights - high stat gem players (usually)
The Forum Knights - a band of forum members
The Paladin Alliance - not too sure about them.

There's also an all female one as well, blanking on the name.

In mine you have my Team Sexey logo (not a serious group) and the smaller badges on the side is my Captain rank for Modern War.

Is there a team sexy and a team sexey?

[Nick-Clark1]

Here's a question for the forum vets. What's the general consensus on stat distribution? Is there any "noticeable" benefit in putting skill points into attack and defense? I'm still trying to decide whether to have 10 Stamina and pile the rest into Hero Attack on my new account, or whether to spread it out a little bit.
Would 50 points in each attack and defense be of any use or do you need to put 100s into it to be a worthwhile investment?
There's probably an algorithm somewhere on here, but I'd just prefer a "quick" answer :p
Thanks

I think everyone would agree that A/D modifiers are a waste of time. Hero strength is where it is.

[MaverickMunkey]

I think everyone would agree that A/D modifiers are a waste of time. Hero strength is where it is.

Im not so sure. I have a load in defense and just the starter amount in attack which does help if attacked by people of a similar stat level. Trying to find the MW thread where CCMark explained the use of skill points.

[Joshlmccoy]

I personally think that skill points belong solely to stamina ad hero strength. I'm sticking at 50 stamina and the rest in hero strength.

[Bruiserbrody]

Will we ever be able to sell loot? Only seems fair to be able to trade or sell weapons/armor/units to other players.

[Talkazar]

Only the developers know, and they haven't said anything about the idea. I would not however, hold your breath waiting for it.

As an aside, in the 4 months I've been monitoring this forum I've only seen CCM foreshadow a new feature once.

pecking order....

[John0897]

When I get attacked while not actively in the game I often get messages that say I failed to fend off an attack. However when I open the log in the game, I've won.

Also, sometimes I get notifications of battles, or buildings ready for collection and sometimes I don't. Why the variation?

[John0897]

I've seen a lot of posts saying you should stay at 499 allies to avoid being a target for tournament quests.

What are the rewards for these quests that people bring them so far? Just exp/money?

[Bronson]

John - the notification system is very messed up, hopefully they will fix it in the future but as long as the one for my manor keeps working I won't complain.

The rewards for the tournaments are exp and honor, it goes up with every tournament.

[John0897]

Do you just spend these honor points on Cannons, or is there a better use?

[Bronson]

Do you just spend these honor points on Cannons, or is there a better use?

Some buy canons others say werewolves are the way to go, me personally I have stockpiled all mine waiting for better units.

[The_Legend_Shall_Live_On]

Some buy canons others say werewolves are the way to go, me personally I have stockpiled all mine waiting for better units.

I second that. Though I hadn't "seconded" it earlier, and spent my honor on cannons (notably better attack and defense for 100 more points than wolves), and now wish I had saved. Only sitting on 4k points now. Would have had 40k or thereabouts.

[Funkey monkey]

Ghost has made two post in the last week on KA. I thought I would quote him here.

Hopefully, everyone else doesn't do this but when someone asked Ghost how he would use his honor.


I am saving mine till end game like i should have done with CC.

[tcapi]

I am saving mine too. I can now get Basilisk (37/21) which is marginally better than cannon (36/20).
I have slightly more than 171K now, that is about 343 cannons. I can call for substantial extra fire power support if I need it.

[Selfproclaimed]

I can chime in on the skill points. I assume it works the same in KA as it does in mw. When applying skill points to attack/ defense, it does help. Say you have 40 attack skill points going up against someone with 30 defense skill points. Even if there actual stats are higher than yours, that extra skill points you have somehow multiplies your chances of coming out of that attack successfully. Same when defending. It does help because I've put a lot in defense skill points and have won against attacks of people with much higher attack to my defense thanks to the skill points.


I'm a bit late on this( realized I read it on like th first page,lol. ) just checking yours out bron . Last time I suggested CC forum members to help each other,they wanted to shoot me and make me beg for mercy,lol..

[Vile Lynn]

I dunno about saving up your Honor Points (HPs)... CC is a whole other story... with the same programmers.

In CC, Respect Points (RPs) are like KA's HPs... In the HLs of CC, RPs are worthless & Funzio/Gree has NOT come out with any new items that are worthy of RP use, especially since they have come out with all of these events... The event items are way better than RP items. Just saying...

You may not want to save them for end game, they might be useless by then.
I am not saving mine... too easy to replace; I'd rather use them before they are worthless.

[Vile Lynn]

Some buy canons others say werewolves are the way to go, me personally I have stockpiled all mine waiting for better units.

Really Bronson? Have they come out with any better units in MW? Or in CC? No & no.

IMHO, spend them when you get them, otherwise they will become obsolete. In CC, above level 175-ish, RPs have no value, meaning RP items do not add to your stats. (yes, there are exceptions, like weak players, RP items do add to their stats, but they don't use the collective wisdom of the forum either.)

I would be happily wrong if they did develop new HP units, but I seriouly doubt they will.
Prove me wrong, GREE... prove me wrong.

[tcapi]

Already checked with support, there will be HP units coming, actually they were here but disabled.

[tcapi]

http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?38374-Saving-honor-points

[echus14]

That's quite an old thread. Wonder how long more it will take for the new honor units to be made available?

[Talkazar]

Theoretically speaking, if I were starting again I would probably save to buy cannon rather than buy water elementals (which is one interpretation of ghost's quote). I wouldn't be saving them over some other future option unless I was down to just basilisks+ in my army.

Umm yeah, we had 7 new valor units in MW when the ranking system came into place. Would love it if they could incorporate something similar into KA. As mentioned above these units are in the game files but we are still waiting for Gree to do something with them.

Also I'm slowly building my dragon army so any HP units I get now would be obsolete before I hit lvl 60.

[Vile Lynn]

Thanks for your input about MW. I really don't pay much attention to my MW game... the ranking system has been out for a while, no? I would like a ranking system in KA, too.


As mentioned above these units are in the game files but we are still waiting for Gree to do something with them.Oh yeah? ...just like decorations are in the game, but nobody else can see them, like in MW & HDCC. I am not holding my breath for new HP units. Kinda sux to upgrade a unit building & not get any new units (or a uber-pricey gem unit that I'll never buy) with the upgrade. I know they have spaces in the store for new units. When I see new units, I'll believe in new units.


Also I'm slowly building my dragon army so any HP units I get now would be obsolete before I hit lvl 60.Exactly my point! Use them or lose them... Once a player has Dragons, HP units become obsolete & are useless; the HP units become meat shields.

IMHO, lower-level players should use up their HPs & get the stat boost from them when they can. It is pointless to save them for too long... and you can always get more HPs, unlike SPs.

[Bronson]

I'm not gonna argue with you VL you have a very valid point, yes it's a different opinion to myself but I can respect that. The best thing about these games is that there are many different strategies that can be applied and there is no right or wrong answers, just what is best for yourself.

Very nice discussion tho and hopefully we will get more of these in the future!

[d_nickels]

Use honor or horde them?

Its a gamble. If new units never get added then yes, its best to just use them at lower levels. If something like the Chimera, which is better than the dragons, gets added then hording the honor points will totally pay off.

[Vile Lynn]

Very nice discussion tho and hopefully we will get more of these in the future!

Oh, I fully agree with you... not sure where the argument comes in. If a player wants to save them, fine, or spend them, fine, too. I re-read your posts & I'm still not sure where our opinions differ. I wasn't trying to argue with you as I resect your input. Also, I wasn't saying that the new HP units don't exist, I meant that I don't expect the units to be better than Dragons when/if they ever are included in the game.

I'm only presenting my opinion based on my experience with GREE games & I thought we had the same opinion: HPs become obsolete after Dragons are available. Maybe, hopefully, GREE will come out with better HP units, but given past history, it is not likely that HP units (better than Dragons) will be introduced; I'm just guessing here. I would love new HP units as long as they were better than Cannons. We shall see what happens.

Yeah, these games are so successful because there are so many choices, different play routes & so many different strategies. Just about every gamer's gaming style is applicable. I'm glad we have a forum to discuss all of the different aspects and many members who don't play the exact same way posting their opinions/experiences.

Personally, I'm saving about 10K HP for later & spending all of the rest on Cannons until I have my BD10, which is my main goal right now.

Question: Is there etiquette to raiding?

I know some strategies but was unsure on etiquette, should one only raid a building so many times? Should one listen to the pleas? (I do, can’t even stand to boil lobsters). Love to hear some thoughts…

[Vile Lynn]

Quick question for those who have Dragons & PvP often:

How many are lost in a typical battle? Do they have a long or short life?
Just curious. Thanks.

[Bronson]

VL - I didnt mean a proper argument, debate would have been better . So far I have lost one dragon in about 50 or so different attacks and raids, worst day of my life 

Cloudking - nope alls fair in the realm of kingdom age! I normally take a little and leave. If someone I beat is cool about it and wants to ally I will add them and if someone wants the special treatment then i will turn their light out.

Hi CloudKing... I don't think so, but some might like to attack/raid only one time per rival.
I always attack until they are too tired to battle & raid until there is nothing left of the high-payout buildings. If you haven't collected and are weaker than me, you don't want me in your kingdom.

If a rival is nice about it, which most are, I'll leave them alone if they ask. If I take a large amount of gold coins from attacking or raiding them, I usually leave a thank you note on their wall :)
If a player is mean & posts nasty things on my wall for playing the game, I attack them, raid them, showing no mercy. This has only happened one time for me. lol, I am still waiting for him to "get me!"

If I raid someone who has similar stats and asks to be allies I will accept... if someone is woeful and a person I use to complete my TRs... I wont accept their request. I dont see an issue with constantly raiding the same people... it just means they should check their manors & lenders more actively. If they are woeful on the stats (at my level) they're probably a shill account for someone else. This is a game, and attacking is part of the game. If someone feels they are being unfairly targeted - they should join an alliance and then seek help from the remainder of the alliance to stop the attacking.

All bets are off if someoen is a jerk to other people by posting rude things on others walls... I will never accept allies from them.

[CloudKing]

Each vault upgrade is evident right when needed. There is a spreadsheet available in various threads though, I believe in the beginner's guide.

What is your current max vault right now?

EDIT:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...kh5ekhnUnh0elE
Here's the spreadsheet I referred to. Open it up, wait for it to load, look at the bottom and click the tab on vault. On the left hand columns you'll see the vault max levels, then how much gold needed to upgrade to that level.

What is the ranking system in Modern Warfare and why do people want it to come to Kingdom Age?

[Bronson]

What is the ranking system in Modern Warfare and why do people want it to come to Kingdom Age?

Modern War not warfare (different games lol)

The ranking system works thru PVP so for every fight or raid you get battle points. You get more battle points for winning against a better opponents eg. If I fought someone with 10k less stats I would get 40 BPs if I fought someone the same stats as me I would get 150 BPs.

The more BPs you collect the higher you move up the ranks but each level takes more BPs to attain. Eg. You start as a private and after say 100 BP you move to Specialist. This then rewards you with cash, valor (honor) and unlocks a new unit that you can buy with valor.

This makes PVP more interesting as each reward is greater than the last and each new unit is stronger than the last but costs more valor.

Sorry for getting the game name wrong.

Are the BPs and rank system in addition to regular levels in Modern War like the leveling system we know in KA? or does it replace it?

[Bronson]

It's additional, we still have the normal levelling system based on xp like KA.

Here is a screenshot of the ranking system so you can see how it works. The smaller ranking like rookie are not there for any reason we can work out you jus get the reward when you finish the current rank.

At the moment I am a Captain but I won't get the reward of 1m, the valor or unlock the helicopter until I finish Captain and become a Major

How do you put screen shots in your posts? Do you HAVE to load them from a computer? Because the resizing and file type and all that is a pain!
Any way to load it from iPad directly or no?

[Squishiboy]

Is there a max number of soldiers you can achieve? What is the max bonus you can receive from adding allies? I thought it was 500 but have just passed that. And have over extended myself since only have 250 armor and weps

[Thanos]

Not sure what the max cap on allies is. But it depends on your lvl for how many you use. Lvl x 5 people then factor 1 weapon,1armor,1meele,1 vehicle per person

[Thanos]

Above post was for crime city.
In Kingdoms it's still lvl x 5 then 3units,3 weapons,3 armor per ally

[buckeyespud]

why does it seem we get random complete energy refills? Is there a rhyme or reason behind this? For example if we get 3 energy per minute, that would be 180 per hour. I've gone away from the game for 2-3 hours before with empty energy and have come back to full energy. Anyone notice this?

To take a screen shot press the power button in top corner and round home under screen at the same time. Then I use an app called photo bucket. All you do is upload the pic to photo bucket and then copy the IMG code and paste it into your post. It's an easy process to use.

[Bronson]

Yep you got it, gold attack x 4. The med packs are better value for money tho you get 3 hits per pack, you just wait 1 minute after buying it to use it.

Maybe one of the members here who use it have the link but KOD won't be around for a while.

Initially yes but when you log off and back on it will only stick to one wall, if it's yours then the other person didn't get it so you would have to post it again.

[Njwmrb]

So when someone writes on your wall that you are not allied with, you have to find their name from your rivals list to post on their wall back?

[Bronson]

So when someone writes on your wall that you are not allied with, you have to find their name from your rivals list to post on their wall back?

No you can still use the reply button to post back to them but if you log off and back on and your message appears on your wall then there was an error sending it so you would have to do it again. Easiest way is just to copy and paste the message using their reply button again.

[Njwmrb]

also just an FYI, the word "part" is censored for some reason...

If you hit the "reply" on the Kingdon News page it takes you to your comment wall. I think this is where most people get confused. You have to hit the "Reply" button on your comment wall AGAIN for the same person, otherwise you are just posting to your own comment wall.
When you do hit the right "Reply" button, it does temporarily post to your wall, when you refresh it should be gone.

I make sure I only hit "reply" from my comments section (not kingdom news) and I have stopped having the problem of it only posting on my wall.

How easy do you lose the basilisk?
Is it high turnover?
Took me awhile to figure out the reply gig. Something that could be worked on for sure.

I have 130 of them (of ~1500) and havent seen a significant loss of them unless you're attacking people at a 1:1 ratio of your A to their D.

[Dr. Dengus]

Is there a link to the spread sheet that Kiss of Death made to help calculate your attack and defense stats? I cant seem to find it.

Was it this you were looking for?

Cool- as I was comparing to rebuy compared to cannon. Even though both will be left behind eventually. Guess better to hold the valor till a new unit comes along. Thanks

[Hondo]

I have noticed several players spreading their army out amongst all 4 different types of units. I for one have been maxing my army out with the same unit. Is there any benifit to spreading them out?

[Thanos]

I don't see it giving any advantage to it myself. The highest attack and the highest def. bottom line. so far anyway.

[Hondo]

That's exactly what I do as well Thanos. I have seen maybe three accounts where they have several units at 50 apiece. Just wondering if they new something I didn't.

I don't PvP a whole lot in KA so I do the same thing as you. The folks who spread out their units are probably just trying to limit casualties. But if you're not concerned about casualties, I'd just continue to stock up on the highest A and D units you have available.

[Hondo]

That makes sense. Thanks Doc.

Hey no problemo.

I am one of those that have mixed armies. I am doing staggering. Illusionist, Paladin and now High Priest so that I could move to next stage at a lower cost and use the lower tier as meat shield. For attack, I have Ram, Berserker, and now Imp/Cat/Manticore combination.

[TheSentinel]

Hey,

What does rare mean in the quest section - is there anything special about it?

Also does the level of attack weapon yo buy used in the attack for boss or is it just the attack of your units.

Thanks

[Thanos]

I have mixed units as I was leveling and trying to keep up att/def and open new units at the same time. I went to quick.
Now that better units are opened the lower masses are a waste. But I needed them at the time.
That will be a constant until last beast is opened up.

[Thanos]

@Sentinel
Rare quests are just more time consuming from what I see. I forget what I won as I completed one so far and it was a while ago.
Best hero weapon always is used to boost attack- and better attack,better chance to win against boss
It's your total attack points used in cash,free it's like half I think

So its better to arm your hero than your army in going against the boss. Been having a hard time with boss going cash already at early boss level. I am lvl 56 with 20K attack and roughly 20 short on weapons. Should i get Hero weapon instead?

thanks

[Thanos]

Heavy Battle Axe and HawkSlayer Leather are best you can buy.
Get one of best Hero Armor so your hero uses it but you will win better as you quest.
Army will always use hero leftovers
I'm real close to you in stats and I use cash after about the 3rd time. I can't win past 14 without using gems.

[Funkey monkey]

Rare - means harder to spawn, you have to kill other monsters to get this one to come out

As far as attack for boss, it doesn't matter if the weapon or armor is looted from monster, bought, Hero or Army. The attack score that is raised is what matters.

To go against the boss, you want the highest attack score. It is usually cheaper to buy high attack units than w/a. However, if you have high attack units that have no weapons or armor, you can buy some cheap weapons or armor which is better than nothing. Personally, I try to buy the best first time around. However, it takes a long time to save up buying high attack weapons or armor.

Attack for boss - this could change but this is what it was for the last boss
Gold hit = raw unboosted unit attack stats + 4 for every attack skill points + w/a attack
Free hit = cash hit *.67

Kiss of Death helped me figure this one, may she rise again

Funky/Thanos,

Thanks guys that helps.

Well yeah as you advance and get better units you are going to have mixed armies, I think the question was do you intentionally purchase different units at the same point in the game.

[Thanos]

Naaa Not me. I would if I had enough $$$ to waste. Maybe at the end of the road when it's like a collecting feeling regardless of use or not.

[Thanos]

Here's a quickie for ya, I'm sure has been asked 1000 x's.....
I know u use 5 allies per level, but can you add 5000 people (for some odd reason) or does it make you boot people out to add a new.
And if so would you ever get an "extra ally" again if you were maxed?

[Funkey monkey]

I'm not there yet, but 500 is the maximum number of allies you can add to bring 1500 units to battle. However, I've heard the game will allow you to add more allies if you are high enough, but it will not allow you to bring extra units to battle. I haven't heard any complaints in the past month or so but in the past some have reported bugs when you went too far over 500 allies.

[Thanos]

Thanks Funky,
I'm halfway there but was trying to see when I should start being selective.
I don't want to kick it into buggy mode.

[Dr. Dengus]

I just tried posting a message on a rivals wall and got this message when I hit submit:

Kingdom Age wasn't able to load due to invalid data! Please delete and reinstall the app to continue playing.

wtf? anyone else seen this before? I've played this game for months now and never had issues...at least I got to my manors before this happened! lol

[echus14]

There's a separate thread on this issue. Think most have found a workaround (at least temporarily).

[Dr. Dengus]

Yeah i just spazzed out. Closed and re-opened the game and it's running fine now....lol

[Danthorne]

Can buildings be raided a limited number of times and then never raided again? I've noticed many players' buildings not available for raiding. If you raid 3 times and destroy the building , is it available for raiding again after they heal the building or is it forever unavailable for future raids. Ive wondered because sometimes its a challenge to find available (good) buildings to raid; silos , leather workers, etc

[Talkazar]

Its available after it has been repaired. The reason why buildings (especially 24/48h buildings) are frequently unable to be raided is because they have been collected from (yes, the message you get when you try to raid them is wrong) and a building can only be raided if there is cash available for collection.

[Thanos]

Dr. We had something weird happen last night that was new. My wife's ipad3 showed her games "cleaning". It looked like when you install an app but instead said "cleaning". Then her games were all wrong. She waited and went back, and then they were fine. First I have ever seen this as I'm not sure if the new iPad has some feature I've not heard of yet.

This has happened to me a lot... Mostly when I write too much in a post.

Since I have been burned by this bug so many times, I copy/paste long posts just in case I get that message. It has saved me a lot of time & hassle by copying my post before I try to send. It doesn't seem to affect the game in any way, but I have had wall problems in the past... not fun. The walls in CC don't seem to have a size limit, but the KA walls do.

Was it a long post, Dr. D? ...just curious

I've seen CC do this "cleaning" thing before. It's only happened once, and it seemed to finish/fix itself. But yeah I'm not 100% sure what it means.

Yeah it was a decent sized post, thanks for the tip about the c/p thing. Funny thing was that when I reopened the game and tried posting the message again, I omitted the last couple sentences from before, and it worked. So yeah it must be a character length issue.

Boost buildings do not help in the epic boss events? Or am I not understanding unboosted and boss?

[Funkey monkey]

Boost buildings do not help in the epic boss events? Or am I not understanding unboosted and boss?

That's correct - boost buildings do not help in boss events (at least they haven't in the past). You can double check and who knows Gree seems to tweak things. On the first boss event, I thought an attack skill point was worth 10 points; this last boss event, they were only worth 4. You can easily test this out.

Get to a boss that takes multiple gold hits. Record your gross boosted attack score from your profile stats. Gold hit the boss and record the attack on the boss. If you have a boost building, your boss attack will be less than your gross attack. Now add one attack unit that you know will raise your attack score, which you have a boost building. Calculate the difference in gross boosted attack from stat when you started; now gold hit the boss and calculate the difference in boss attack. The difference between the gross boosted increase in profile stat and the boss net increase, should be the result of your boost building.

Dr. D - I'm glad that c/p thing helped :)

[Lt. Falcon]

I'm trying to figure out where I stand as far as stats are concerned for my level/ally count. I'm sitting at lvl 49 / 125 allies with 16.3k attack / 16.8k def. I know I can get that higher but was planning on some big upgrades before lvl 50 and before the breeding den gets unlocked, currently have lvl 10 magic academy, wizard's spire, beast warren, siege workshop, coliseum and barracks. My gnomish lab is upgrading to lvl 5 at the moment. My IPH is 6500+. Any advice, suggestions or comments are welcome.

[Funkey monkey]

Look in your batlelist to see if anyone is stronger than your defense. If you are going to have a lot of unvaulted gold, you may want to boost your defense with HP and 10/25 armor. At the last boss, did you max allies? Could you see down to your level? If so, you might go down a few more allies.

I'm at a lower level and lower ally count with higher defense, but you might be fine.

Wow, I'd say you are doing fantastic!
When I was level 49, I had 216 allies, with 11K attack & def & 4.5K IPH, but these numbers were right after the first event. Nowadays, stats are a bit more inflated from frequent events. My battle record was about 1200:10... now, it's 5006:65 @ level 89. I'm crawling until my BD is 10.

Btw, hi neighbor! I'm in SA, too :cool:

[John0897]

I'm approaching 50 and wanted some suggestions on how to make the transition to dragons. I've stopped myself at lvl 47 right now. I currently have a 90 ally army, fully flaming catapults and high priests. I have two plans, but not sure what to do:

1) camp for a while, get ally count to max and fill in with flaming catapults and high priests. Then hit 50 and camp while upgrading breeding den. This has the advantage of letting me beat more bosses during the events. Will this make me safer with the unvaulted gold needed for upgrades? or by having a higher ally count at lvl 50 will I be more vulnerable to bigger players.

2) Hit 50, and start upgrading to breeding den keeping allies/army as they are. Then build army with dragons, will take a while longer to build up ally count

Well Hello neighbor...not really concerned with battle record (601-133) as I don't do much pvp. I do a lot of pve, lvl 5 mastery as I'm done with the first 9 maps. I'm sitting w/ 250 HP's, but looking at my rival's list I rarely find someone over 8k att. Reading the forums, I see a bunch of higher stats and reading the difficulty of the den's upgrade, I don't want to rush. I'm thinking of halting my pve, upgrading manors and other high income buildings and finishing the boost buildings upgardes as I have them all at lvl 5 now except the water temple (I just don't see the casualty rate difference). This will also give me the chance to purchase more higher stats weapons and armor.


btw...i thought we were allies, don't see you in friend's list.

[ezinap]

I have a similar plan: stay below 50, get max vault, upgrade spire to unlock high priest, upgrade money buildings, meanwhile buying high priest, grow ally count to max-1, get iph of 7k, fill my vault, and then go to 50.

Flaming catapults don't make you more safe, a high ally count is more safe against gem players, gold players cannot simply beat high priest ánd stay at level 50.
Just my 2 cents.

[John Snow]

I'm trying for BD 10 right now. Just finished L8 and am building cash for L9. @Falcon - you should be fine with your stats. I have 84 allies at L51 and 21k def. I've seen only one player with an att > 12k in the past couple of weeks. (It was over 21k, though!) Max vault is important. I also have the lumber mill at L10, manors at L3, and 7481 IPH. I think there are a few people holding at L50-51 making runs for dragons. It's definitely harder to find raidable buildings, so if you PvP a lot for income, expect to have to work harder for it.

[bgood]

I figure this wont be announced by the developers or that anyone would of heard anything but i figure i'll ask if is there any discussion among KA dev to increasing the vault. The cap at 330k, makes it damn near impossible to make runs at high level manors without plunking serious RM. Grant they like to encourage PvPing which unvaulted cash does just thaught the 330k is a bit low.

[Lt. Falcon]

I hardly do any pvp, I tend to lose more in terms of losses than what i gain in gold, regardless of casualty rates, I lost 2 lich's and 1 death knight (total 9400 gold) in 1 attack with someone with 1/4 of my stats. As those units are low and very low casaulty respectively. My income comes mainly from collections and what I get from opens. l10 lumber mill, I need to work on that, completely ignored that up until this point when I just looked. Guess it'll be a little while longer before I go to 50.

What level are you currently? If you're outside of whale territory it's a lot easier to go over vault. But if you're already there ... it takes some clever planning.

I doubt the vault cap will be increased though ... MW has been around for ~10 months and has had the same vault limit the entire time.

[bgood]

Figured as much...at level 81 with max vault..camping with some PVP attacking, hoping to get a BD at lvl 10 without too much levling up.

Another question:

A army is capped based on your allowable army # (based on ally count,etc). so at levle 81 with 405 allies i can bring 1,215 units each with its own armor and weapon....i have well over the 1,215 in units...What determines what units are brought in an attack? What determines what units defend from an attack? To Simplify if I had an army of 2 and I had 4 units in my inventory 2 basileks or 2 high priests. If I attack will it bring the 2 basileks? If Im attacked will it use the HP or the basilek because it has a higher combined A/D? This may of been mentioned but i couldnt find a reference

When you attack, the top 1215 units with highest attack in your inventory will be used. And when you are attacked by a rival, the top 1215 units with the highest defense stat will be used.

[Bronson]

Bgood - you attack using your units with the highest attack and defend with your units with the highest defence.

I'm sure you've read about the PvE trick where you save the last boss hit on a bunch of maps until you're ready to take your BD to level 10. You probably have high hero strength so this would be a good tactic for you.

[Lt. Falcon]

I'm sure you've read about the PvE trick where you save the last boss hit on a bunch of maps until you're ready to take your BD to level 10. You probably have high hero strength so this would be a good tactic for you.

On the upper level maps I have quite a few of the big bosses (last 5 maps unlocked at this point) on the last hit and for the most part I think my Hero Strength is high, sitting at 50 on lvl 49. I've invested plenty of skill points in this area mostly for pve and boss events (thinking there would be a difference, not sure if there is). I have them prepared for future upgrades and quick gold.

[bgood]

Thanks Dr. Dengus & Bronson that helped a lot. So i can build a try to buy full HP army for defense and a full Baselik for attack to aid in my drive from BD5 to BD10. I plan on upgrading my money buildings and purchasing units at same time than trying to make a straight dash on BD upgrades.

Haven't read the last few pages, so might have missed something but why do you want a basilisk army? I would (and did) go straight from flaming catapults to hydras... Even then, I only 1/3-hydra'd (didn't need more).

[custos]

Haven't read the last few pages, so might have missed something but why do you want a basilisk army? I would (and did) go straight from flaming catapults to hydras... Even then, I only 1/3-hydra'd (didn't need more).

When you compare basilisks to hydras the attack points for gold spent on basilisks is better. So unless you are going for a full hydra army (which you said you haven't) it's better bang for buck with basilisks.

Hydra A/D = 40/36, cost $7600
Basilisk A/D = 37/21, cost $5000

Hydra cost per attack point = $190
Basilisk cost per attack point = $135

Or if you would prefer comparing the combined attack/defence points:

Hydra cost per combined A/D point = $100
Basilisk cost per combined A/D point = $86

Or put another way, let's say you had 300K to spend on your army. You could buy 60 Basilisks for a total A/D of 2220/1260 or for the same cash, 39 Hydras for a total A/D of 1560/1404. The Basilisks are clearly the better deal. Of course if you have infinite funds and are just looking to fill up spots then the higher A/D the better.

That was exactly my thinking and I would not of laid out my response as well. My plan was go hp and baselik and then make a straight run to upgrade from bd 5 to 10 once my iph is better. While I upgrade my economy my in vaulted cash will go to units

[YLL]

I have an entirely different philosophy from you guys. My strategy in getting to BD10 was to be the baddest guy in my level/ally bracket - which worked very well indeed. I was able to - and did - crush anyone I met with basilisks.

EDIT: Just to be clear, what I was trying to say is that my belief - backed up by experience - is that buying basilisks is actually a false economy.

[Dr. Dengus]

Just wanna clear one thing up, if you're going for BD10 in one clean swoop, why even buy Hydra's in the first place? Wouldn't that money be better saved for the BD 9 and 10 upgrades? Are they just a placeholder until you can afford to buy Dragon's efficiently?

That was actually the idea. But I ran into a heavy-gem spender with an all-gem army on my BD9 run, the only guy who managed to inflict any losses on me - he took 60k of me, albeit losing half his attacks. So, I added some allies and a few hydras to boost my stats and dissuade him.

Initially, he tried to match my stat increases by also adding allies - but in the process, his densities suffered severely, whereas my degraded only slightly, thanks to my +9k IPH (up to 7.5k effective, depending on work and girlfriend). After a week of this (it would have been shorter but for a four-day holiday which meant I couldn't play much), he added me as an ally when I threatened to (but did not) take money off him when I caught him sitting on 450k.

In short, having high densities and decent IPH are important advantages that are very helpful in BD10 runs.

If you're not maxed out on hp's, I believe getting a couple hundred Hydras is a good idea on your way to bd10. It takes awhile to build up dragons so your Hydras will be going to battle for quite some time with you and fortify your stats. They also offer better A/D stats for 400 gold less than f.treb/hp combo and have lower casualty rate.

[bgood]

I have an entirely different philosophy from you guys. My strategy in getting to BD10 was to be the baddest guy in my level/ally bracket - which worked very well indeed. I was able to - and did - crush anyone I met with basilisks.

EDIT: Just to be clear, what I was trying to say is that my belief - backed up by experience - is that buying basilisks is actually a false economy.

Can you explain what you mean by false economy? Are you saying the losses in terms of battling with a basilisk army outweighs the cost upgrade of a hydra. I think if you take money out of the equation and time to build said army 100% I'd go hydra all the way. I don't have overwhelming stats but in my pvp experience I have run to only a few that would crush me at 32k def and that is without a single hp right now. Certainly there out there but what I'm worried about is the longer I delay getting to bd10 the more people who camped at lower levels to get to bd10 will fall in my bracket with dragon armies. Different strokes for different folks obviously your strategy was successful for you

I meant that Basilisks are not significantly more powerful than the Flaming Catapult-High Priest Combination, which will cost less (6.4k gold cost per pair) and should be sufficient to see you at least to BD8 (although you may need to sell Manors). Consequently, I favour this cheaper pairing to start with.

Once at BD8, should you need to, you would add replace some or all of the FC-HP combination with Hydras. If you go with Basilisks and run into trouble with them, you would probably have to upgrade to Hydras anyway - i.e. you'd end up spending much, much more gold and time doing a double upgrade for marginal gains.

Need help with a situation. I do a bunch of PvPing only hitting high value targets (manors, high level silo's...etc) and I hit someone with about 5k less defense than me. He has responded and keeps attacking me...granted he's getting chump change from my level 1 lenders and a level 4 silo. I've responded back hitting his silos. This has gone on 2 weeks now. Last week i offered to ally and stop...he doesn't. He tells me to stop attacking so i ask for a written truce. He attacks me again an hour after to get 1k from my libraries (probably lost more in units). Now I have a better army and prospects for a much better as he hasn't even build breeding den yet. Do I relentlessly attack him until he accepts my truce, do i drop it and let the daily 1k he steals from me go? Not sure of the best strategy. He has now built up his attack so he has 4k less Attack and 2k less defense than me. Any advice?

If you just ignore him for a few days most likely he will lose interest and move on to someone else he can get a response from. If not, he's hurting himself in unit losses and not using his stamina productively and eventually you should be able to outgrow him where he won't be successful on his attacks.

Alternatively, you could ask friends/allies around your level to help flatten his kingdom to help him get the point to move on.

[Funkey monkey]

What about building defense high enough so he is not successful even with a raid?

After I suffering too many Flame cat/Cat/Siege tower losses during raids, I decided to rush lumber mill, then BD - skipped past basilisk and hydras to rush dragons. I also managed to score some high-end units during the events which helped deflect and deter some rivals . I also added allies slowly and monitored the rival list to avoid top players.

[ohgreatitsryan]

Has anyone heard any rumblings about additional buildings coming to KA? The required level for everything seems a little low considering the vault cap....

[Talkazar]

when has funzio/gree ever foreshadowed anything? (actually that's not entirely fair, I think CCM foreshadowed something once - just an event and new maps though).

In any event, there are a few upgrades beyond the cap. Of course, new buildings or indeed anything novel would be nice.

[Morphlingman]

I'm sure this question has been asked before.
Does a lumber mill decrease upgrade costs as well as construction costs

[Talkazar]

Yes, it does.

However, it does not decrease the cost of your vault or land acquisition.

ive been keeping a spreadcheet over my units and gear, its been spot on until now when i started adding hydras, i have more att/def than i should, i havent added or won any new unit/gear but i do have unboosted stat, anyone else having this problem or am i missing something! been going throu my entire inventory 3times now, it seem to be correct? suggestions?

As a little update I did a combination of the advice. I started to boost my defense and then i flattened his kingdom all by myself (backfilled loses from looting other kingdoms)...and then posted asking if now we can stop? yesterday he didnt attack at his normal 12:30 raiding time nor any at night and I havn't attacked him so I think I'm out of the woods on this one. I'm going to throw a little more cash into HP's in between upgrades for the BD just in case

[manson627]

can anyone tell me wt is best unit?
for example: i hv 10 unit A which are with Attact 10 Defence 2
and 10 unit B which are with Attact 1 Defence 5

if i only can bring 10 unit,the best 10 unit is 10 unit A
or when attacking enemy,i will bring 10 unit A
and when I defence,i bring 10 unit b?

Anyone can explain how or what the number beside the sword (probably meant offense) affect your attack points and how to increase it if you can? Thanks.

[Talkazar]

You can increase it by spending skill points. (There is also one event item that added 100 attack skill, but it was some time ago and hasn't been repeated yet).

What does it do? Gree refuses to say exactly, but have said generally it is multiplied by "a random number" and added to your attack strength (53643 in that picture) to determine if you win the fight (vs your opponents defense strength and defense skill multiplied by another 'random number'). No, we don't know the range of 'the random number'.

Thanks Talkazar. I kept adding to my hero strength I almost forgot that you can increase the attack skills.

It takes awhile to build up dragons so your Hydras will be going to battle for quite some time with you and fortify your stats. They also offer better A/D stats for 400 gold less than f.treb/hp combo and have lower casualty rate.

Good advice. Mind you, it's technically quite possible to get to a BD10 without boosting your attack stats at all. One strategy would be to ignore basilisks and hydras (or any other attack unit), and simply pour all your cash into high priests to get a really high defence for your level. Then sit back and save for your BD10 through your economy and PvE. You couldn't PvP except against really weak rivals and wouldn't do so well in the boss events, but you would save a lot of cash not buying those attack units. Thinking through the numbers....

Hydras have 36-D compared to HPs with 32-D, but they cost 2.7 times as much. Dollar for dollar, HPs give you 86 points of defence (2.7 x 32) compared to buying a Hydra. So for a strong defence, a big army of HPs would be cheaper and the money saved gets you to BD10 quicker. You're right though, that when you get there you will still have a weak attack and would have to start building that up with dragons. But not buying those 200 Hydras has saved you $1.5 million.

[Danthorne]

Raiding
I've been productive with raiding on my level 44 account, but have been getting raided on my lvl94 account by players with much lower scores. I lost a full manor income to someone with a 27,800 attack, while I have a 37,800 defense, plus the following defense bldgs protecting the manor:

Level 2 Corruption tower 120 defense
Level 4 magic circle 60 defense
2 level 2 cannon towers at 44 each.

How were they able to raid me? Is it useless to have these defense towers and arrange to have them protect buildings? Similar on my level 44. Have a 16.7k defense score but someone with a 9k attack was able to raid me. Shouldn't they fail?

[Talkazar]

No easy answer here but
1. Your profile defense includes all of your defensive buildings. However if you are being raided, the ones not in range don't count so your defense will be LOWER than your profile defense.
2. Raiding is a lot easier than attacking.
3. Your opponent's attack skill and your defense skill is factored in, and may make a difference especially at low levels.

9k defeating 16.7k is still rather surprising.

[Danthorne]

I was surprised too. I also have my defensive bldgs carefully placed to protect high value money bldgs. Plus thee advanced upgrades. Seems like a waste.

[GetItOn]

In my experience, defense bldgs don't necessarily make a raid fail but they increase unit losses. To the point where an attacker might actually lose money on the raid and that is the deterrent.

[Eraleth]

Do you think upgrading the Defense bldgs would increase the unit losses?

Yes, and expensive units, prone to loose units purchased using hp.

When you look at your Att/def stats on profile screen do you see the same as what someone else sees? In other words, do you see your boosted stat or unboosted stat?

[Funkey monkey]

Sounds funny- you see what you see not what someone else sees. If you have boosted stats and a person who doesn't have boosted stats looks at your profile, they will see unboosted stats. This also goes the other direction. If your stats are not boosted, then when you look at some other profile they will appear unboosted.

[Vile Lynn]

When you look at your Att/def stats on profile screen do you see the same as what someone else sees? In other words, do you see your boosted stat or unboosted stat?

If you have boosted, you see everyone's & yours as boosted.

I don't see boosted stats & I see my stats as being unboosted. But my allies who have boosted stats, see mine as being boosted. I hope that i'm making sense :) & I understood your question.

[Dr. Dengus]

When you look at your Att/def stats on profile screen do you see the same as what someone else sees? In other words, do you see your boosted stat or unboosted stat?

I think he is referring to the boost buildings here. Because in MW you see a rivals/allies raw stats in their profile (w/o any boost buildings being taken into account). But looking at your own profile you see your boosted stats. Not sure how it works in KA though.

[Talkazar]

Potions. Remember you can wait 1 minute and get 3 hits. (50 to 25, wait 1 minute regen to 26 then hit twice).

However, the megahit does not cost gold, and I'm told near the end of event that cost starts to get out of control.

Here's a question for the crowd. My new account is sitting comfortably at Lv.22. What combo of units should I use to carry me through to Lv.50 when I'll upgrade to Dragons? I'm thinking of High Priest / Lich combo, 16/48 & 49/26 respectively. Or perhaps High Priest / Flaming Catapult (51/24)?
Also, does anybody know the casualty rates of both Lich & FC....? HP is a must, just can't decide on who should accompany the old geezer into battle lol!

Can't remember the stats now, but the FC-HP combination is optimal in my reckoning. It'll carry you to BD10 if you're lucky and camp at L50 (L51 and L52 were much more intense, in my experience); if not, add some hydras and allies when you hit BD8 (which anyone in the L50s should find achievable, even if it means selling Manors).

I used flaming catapult/high priest... mainly because the flaming catapult is unlocked much sooner than lich. Plus the upgrade cost is cheaper (lvl 10 siege tower compared to lvl 10 spire)

Yeah I'd say that I'm crawling more so than camping. I have every intention on moving onto level 30 soon as I'm pretty happy with my main money buildings and their levels. High Priests will be the main source of my defense stat and should hopefully protect me pretty well whilst making the climb to level 50 to get that highly sought after Lv.10 breeding Den.

Relating to my other question before, I'll probably stock up on Lich's for PvP'ing, I haven't really seen too many people using them so it will be nice to try something different. I also intend on doing Temple upgrades, so two birds with one stone.....kind of

So I did the flaming cat/HPs route only because when the zeppelin was the backbone of my defense, I had upgraded the engineering academy several levels. Plus the flaming cats were just a little cheaper than lichs with a bit stronger att.

"Rough Guide" To Allies


Does anyone have a guide to using Allies? When to build them,when to drop them. When they help, when they hinder.
Some posts talk about dropping at certain times for certain reasons.
Also does dropping Allies affect my A/D stats? I assume they do

[Talkazar]

THe first question I'll largely leave to the floor but for the second, your number of allies means you can bring 3x that number of units to a battle, so provided you have enough units, reducing your allies will reduce your A/D. There are a surprising number of players (especially, erm, weak players) who have ally counts far greater than they can use. That incidently is a case where you are better off reducing ally count (assuming you cannot easily build good units to cover the gap).

[Funkey monkey]

domw001
I think part of your answer is dependent upon what level is in the game. If you are in high level of the game, there are fewer players so the brackets to what other people can see you is wider. For example, a level 200 player can see a 150 level player but a level 50 player can't see a level 48 level player. The same goes for ally count. The higher you are in level the lower you can see in ally count. As a result, there is some strategy if you are in a lower levels that you might not want to be full allies. This will reduce your A/D stats but other lower ally players tend to have reduced stats as well. If you are a lower level player, during the next box event go full ally then hit refresh around 30x and see what the lowest ally count you can see. Then you can reduce your ally count a little below that. Keep in mind that you will still be seen by players that will have more ally count than you but you want to boost your defense up so they can't win.

Full Allies - helps during boss events, tend to have stronger players, may get attacked for quests, make sure you have weapons and armor for each unit
Half Allies - surrounded by weaker players, can be seen by high level player if in whale territory
Low Allies - probaly only good if you have a super gem units/weapons/armor

Sure somewhere someone must have asked this question before but a "quickie"here, how much do you get back when you sell a higher level building? And what if the buildings were built with full lumber mill bonus?

[echus14]

Half. Disregard lumber mill discount.

[tcapi]

Including the upgrade cost?

[tcapi]

Say Manor
Level1, building cost 250k, with lumber10% 225k
Level2, upgrade cost 420k, with lumber10% 375k

If you are going to sell Level2 Manor, what would you be getting back?

[Hobtuse]

Sure somewhere someone must have asked this question before but a "quickie"here, how much do you get back when you sell a higher level building? And what if the buildings were built with full lumber mill bonus?
you get back exactly half of the last cost/upgrade for the building
e.g. Manor Level 2: you get back 210k, which is 50% of the 420k upgrade cost, regardless of the level of lumber mill

I got about 80 boxes from the last event using the map "The Blighted Woods" hunting Abyssal Harpy. I'm Lv.30 though so the drop rates may behave differently if the player is a higher level....?

I wouldn't bother with defensive structure upgrades. Focus on economy and buy units with decent defense IMO

i thnk it is 26-50,51-75,76-100,101- something like that

[domw001]

Cool, I thought it might be something like that.

I've just hit L70 so I might just plot up for a bit and go into upgrade mode.

When you sell a building you'll get half of what that level cost you excluding lumbermill effect. What about gem-buildings like a lvl5 gold mine ? Does it disappear or is it reduced to lvl1 or can it be sold at all ?

I'm curious. Is there any benefit to raiding someone's blacksmith/lumber mill or any other non-money generating building? Does it disable the benefit they provide to their kingdom owners?

Only taking out Unit Boost buildings will have an effect.

Can't imagine why anyone would want to do this since replacing it costs real $$. I suppose you could try it and post the results. Unlike most forum members, myself included, your first few posts would then be helpful to the entire community.;)

Well, it makes no sense to sell a gem-building if it is lost in the process like the normal buildings. However since gem-items and units are indestructable perhaps the same applied to the gem buildings. Especially the gold mine would then become a secondary vault.

I'll consider testing it on a cheaper building as normal rules probably apply :) Could be that someone allready tested this by accident ?

You can sell a gem building. If I remember correctly, someone did this in MW thinking they would get half their gems back and got nothing. Do not sell a gem building!

Well, that would be one hell of a glitch!! You could just sell it over and over again and never lose it.

Sorry to ask here I've tried searching to no avail.
I Cant start my own threads i Guess this is due to needing to replies post count,how many posts do I need before I can startup own thread ?
Also where is the FAQ located ?

As said sorry to ask here just seached the term in different ways with no results & searching "FAQ" brings up nothing also.

Thanks for any help recived

[Mervic]

Don't know the FAQ, but Ghosts sticky on Beginners thread is a good place to start. It is way better than the in game "how to play" section.

[Morphlingman]

When did scratchers start in KA, I have not gotten one yet

Never mind. I just did an update and got it

Dads- I believe it's 10 posts. Afterwards you'll be able to start your own threads. Don't worry about asking that question. This thread is meant for questions like that.

they're just like regular allies, but without the advantage of being real people who can really attack.

you can file a support tickets to get these "extra allies" or "grunts" pulled off your acct.

Just wondering....what's the average age of players here? I often wonder if I'm a "older" guy playing a kids game.

[Selfproclaimed]

Not sure about this game but on modern war, a poll was done and over 30 made up most of the people in the poll... You'd be suprised.
